Genuine 150 Prado Alloy Bull-bar UHF antenna mount

Hey, everyone!

I have a question regarding the 150 Prado Alloy Bull-bar UHF antenna mount that comes pre-fitted. The hole on top appears to be 12mm in diameter. I just scored GME AE409L Antenna, ready to fit on, and realised that this diameter of this is 18mm! Is it common for the mounting plate to be 18mm? If so, what methods has anyone used to fit an antenna, without having to utilise a whole other mount (E.g. bullbar clip).

Thanks,

Dan

I used a round file on mine.

Oh I see, and expanded the hole to 18mm? Was it quite difficult?

So I ended up fashioning a small bracket to bridge it together, neat and better than drilling or filing my bumper!
